July 2-3, 2014, Mt Baker, Squak Glacier
7/2/14
WA Cascades West Slopes North (Mt Baker)
2499

This was the 7th annual pilgrimage for myself and #6 for Rafe.
No snow until breaking out of the trees, but a killer campsite above crag view
Crampons all the way to the summit.
The ski down the first 1k was sketch, very firm - A game necessary.
Just before and after the traverse to the Squak was a blast, thus the reason I have no actual ski footage in the video below
